Keynote speaker:

Heinz Wohlrabe, PhD, Dr.habil
Professor

Dresden University of Technology

heinz.wohlrabe@tu-dresden.de

Presentation:
“Quality and Reliability Influences of SMD-Devices due to Warpage Behavior of SMD-Packages and Boards during Soldering”

Dr.-Ing. habil. Heinz Wohlrabe (born 1955) studied 1974-1978 electro techniques at Technische Universität Dresden (Dresden University of Technology). He has got the PHD in 1984 at the same university. The main important topic was the usage of statistical quality control in electronics technology. The focus of his scientific work over all this time was the application of mathematical-statistical methods (namely statistical process control, machine and process capability analysis, Design of Experiments) for the quality assurance in electronic production processes.

PDC Courses

Keynote speaker:

Istvan Novak
Principal Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

Samtec

istvan.novak@verizon.net

Presentation:
“Selected Tips for Making Successful Power Distribution Designs”

This course will highlight four important power-integrity topics in 45-minute sessions.

In the first module we will discuss the distribution of DC power. The second module will discuss the large and sometimes surprisingly unexpected loss of capacitance in some multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) applications. Based on the learnings from the first two topics, the third block will explore power distribution filters, power distribution networks with a series inductor or ferrite bead. The fourth module will focus on the scattering parameters of bypass capacitors.
